The second in a series of videos aimed at helping children and young people prepare and feel less anxious about travelling to school by bus or taxi, has now been launched on the EA website.
The first of the video series, 'Travelling to school on the bus' has been shared with all schools in Northern Ireland and pupils from #Rathore and #ParkView Special Schools were celebrated with a red carpet event last month.
Last week #CastleTower School was the venue for the launch of the second video, with pupils from Rathore and Parkview also attending.
The new video can be watched in full at 👉 https://t.co/aQJ2FEiazN and here's a snippet of the celebrations at Castle Tower 👇
All aboard for Children in Need! 🐻💛

🫶 Thank you to the superstar pupils, staff and teachers of #Parkview and #Rathore special schools for taking part in this new educational video, which we hope will help pupils feel more prepared and less anxious about travelling to and from school by bus.
The video, which was filmed before the end of last term, also highlights the importance of using seatbelts to stay safe on the journey, and celebrates the amazing work of the EA’s Bus Drivers and Escorts.

@EmmaCDeSouza Can't get a planned appointment for GP unless it attracts QOF points eg asthma reviews. Discriminates against people who have work commitments. All daily appointments gone within 10 mins of phone line opening
@JohnnyBurns1@mlchealth@healthdpt Supposed to have been shift left years ago , that's what Transforming your care was about , but an individual at home doesn't capture headlines or pictures as much as an overcrowded ED or hospital
November was a busy month for our Safety Bus Team as they visited schools across Northern Ireland to speak with pupils about safety on our buses 🚌
